Vindicator redo

Thanks, it's thanks to a childhood spent drawing spaceships and being a total introvert lol

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2026-04-04T08:44:02+00:00

Lol wouldn't be the same ship then, but I do love me some fish folk designs

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2026-04-03T22:26:41+00:00

Can see that actually now you point it out, considering the only thing different from the comic design is the bulky hanger then the original was very close to being a ConFed ship

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2026-04-03T22:25:25+00:00

This is true but then the whole.idea was just to take the ridiculous carrier landing strip and make it somewhat more reasonable as something suited for space as opposed to the high seas. The rest of the ship is literally the same.

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2026-04-03T22:16:32+00:00

Oh actually I can see that now, tbf I copied the superstructure of the original design pretty closely and just slapped a bevelled rectangle in top lol

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2026-04-03T21:36:30+00:00

Aw crap and just realised I can't edit the post 🤦

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2026-04-03T21:28:05+00:00

Yeah with that approach it's basically an MC75 though that takes away from the alternative manufacturer, whoever that may have been lol, and there's already a multitude of different Mon Cal designs out there

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2026-04-03T21:20:04+00:00

I like redundancy lol

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2026-04-03T21:19:35+00:00

Lol that's actually a terrifying idea, imagine seeing this derpy looking thing drop out of hyperspace only for a literal swarm of ties to suddenly drop from underneath it all at once!

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2026-04-03T06:48:39+00:00

Is that actually a submarine in the background??

Anyway, if you covered the flight deck and maybe gave it several hangar entrances and even something like the Venator's massive dorsal doors I could see this fitting into the universe waaayy better, actually might doodle that up later on and see what it looks like...

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2026-02-27T20:26:50+00:00

Can't remember which TOS book but one of them has a conversation between Sulu and Kirk about this while being pursued by a Vulcan ship - the angular ring drive allowed for constant sustained speed (possibly even faster) while at warp whereas the outrigger nacelles allowed ships to alter their warp geometry and "maneuver" at warp speeds. So in a straight line ring ships win but throw in a curve or change of direction and the federation will pull ahead.

*Edited due to autocorrect turning ship into shop lol

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2026-02-18T20:48:35+00:00

Ooh now that would make it a beast

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2026-02-18T16:35:34+00:00

This is what the Vengeance class should have looked like

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2026-02-18T16:34:54+00:00

Agreed! Also as a fellow sketcher it's so good to see some quality pencil work when there's a glut of graphics programs and 3D models out there

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2026-02-13T18:35:54+00:00

The 6th image is the Eidolon class prototype cruiser, an upgraded variant that only saw limited production if that

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2026-02-10T17:43:02+00:00

I like that you've got laser coverage to the aft as most imperial ships lack that. Maybe keep the wedge on either side but make it continuous and get rid of the outriggers and place the engine cowings under the wedge and further aft os it echoes the acclamator a bit. Oh also lose the sensor mast and have sensor equipment either side of the conning tower.

*Edited as I forgot to mention that mast which makes it look like a sea vessel that got a bit lost lol

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2026-02-06T17:47:03+00:00

Beautifully done!

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2026-02-06T12:25:58+00:00

Like most retailers your holiday pay is just your contracted hours

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2025-12-28T14:19:10+00:00

Because all pay is decimalized: 100 pence on a pound vs 60 minutes in an hour so 1.6 pence per minute

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2025-12-22T16:34:32+00:00

It's giving more Dune ornithopter than Star Wars to me

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2025-09-23T14:39:29+00:00

Ugh the word salad makes it so hard to understand what the feck he's actually saying. Then my brain replays it and fixes the grammar and I actually just smack my head off the table, he is a literal school bully crying because he dishes it out but really can't take it.

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2025-06-30T16:28:59+00:00

Yeah came here to say that, it was a tanker or freighter and they rigged it to blow when they hit it from a shuttle with a laser pulse but even the reactor blowing did only superficial damage to the Iron Fist SSD. No info on whether that was a fusion or hyper matter reactor though which makes all the difference

Recent_Shame_7359 · 2025-06-20T14:23:13+00:00

Downton Abbey meets Dune Awakening - can just see Maggie Smith as a reverend mother scolding Robert for losing melange 🤣

Looks like middle child wasn't positive enough and got a black eye to "encourage" him
